Our heirloom comes with responsibilities

As heirs we are called to a life of Sacrificial Living, living a life of contentment, and not being afraid to give up comforts, or worldly pursuits to follow Christ because we are assured of a just and everlasting reward. People who live only for the moments do so only because they do not know of the hope of God's everlasting reward. And rightfully so, if you don't have a guarantee for the future, you might as well do what you can now. As heirs we may not be able to avoid physical and emotional suffering, sickness, exhaustion, or emotional distress while we are still here but as heirs, we know that our tears will be wiped away.
